HOW TO READ THIS TABLE: Candidates for the U.S. House of Representatives typically get the majority of their campaign dollars from donors within their home state. Read more...

Senate candidates show a variety of patterns, depending on the size of the state and the wealth of its economic base. Candidates in states
like New York, California and Texas may get most of their money from their constituents, while those in the most sparsely populated states may
get nearly all their money from out of state.

As a general rule, incumbents get more out-of-state money than challengers, a reflection of their status as members of Congress and the
wider circles in which they travel. Challengers and newcomers are rarely well known outside their state, so their ability to raise funds beyond
their district is more limited.

"No State" means that there was no state listed on contribution report.

METHODOLOGY: The numbers on this page are calculated from
contributions of more than $200 from individuals, as reported to the Federal Election Commission. PAC dollars are not included.

HOW TO READ THESE TABLES: The search for campaign cash makes "dialing for dollars" one of the most time-intensive parts of any political campaign. Where do all those well-heeled donors live? For most candidates, the richest source of large individual contributions will be the most populous metro areas within their state or district. Many incumbents also draw significant sums from the nation's capital. Senators and other high-profile incumbents may draw from the Big Three sources of campaign cash nationally: New York City, Washington, DC and Los Angeles.

HOW TO READ THESE TABLES: Nearly every candidate running for Congress or other high political office has a "golden Rolodex" with the names of potential high-dollar donors. Those donors tend to live in high-income areas, or to work in downtown business centers. These charts show where each candidate's top donors came from. In most cases, candidates' richest zip codes will come from within their own states or congressional district. Some of the nation's most generous zip codes may also show up - these are chiefly in Washington, D.C. and New York.

One thing to keep in mind is that while most donors list their home address when making contributions, others list their business address - so the top zip codes will reflect both wealthy suburbs and central business districts.

METHODOLOGY: The numbers on this page are calculated from contributions of more than $200 from individuals,
as reported to the Federal Election Commission. PAC dollars are not included.

NOTE: All the numbers on this page are for the 2013 - 2014 House
election cycle and based on Federal Election Commission data available electronically on
Monday, February 02, 2015. Click to see the reports included in calculating this information. ("Help!
